NIU’s fall sale takes up to 51% off its lineup of KQi-series e-scooters starting from $180

NIU has an ongoing fall sale that is taking up to 51% off a lineup of electric scooters through October 20. A notable standout that provides an above-average commuting solution at an affordable rate is the brand’s KQi3 Pro Electric Kick Scooter which is down at $599 shipped. Normally this model spends most of the time sitting at its $799 price tag, we saw it hit its lowest price to date back in May at the start of summer when it fell to the $549 low, which we haven’t seen again since. Today, you can score it at its second-best rate that we have tracked, slashing a solid $200 off the tag and adding a reliable commuter to your travel needs with significant savings.

If you’re looking for a commuter that boasts a longer-than-average travel distance at an affordable rate, then the NIU KQi3 Pro should definitely be considered. You’ll be able to travel up to 31 miles on a single charge here at top speeds of 20 MPH, which starts approaching e-bike mileage rates at far less cost. The 350W rear drive motor comes powered by a 48V battery, which also provides enough power to conquer 20% inclines without concern. It’s been given wider 21-inch handlebars alongside 9.5-inch rubber pneumatic tires for added comfort while riding, at the same time the triple braking system, brake lights on its backside, and the Halo headlight provide increased stopping assurance and safety – especially at night. With the companion app, you’ll get the usual smart controls, as well as the additional security features to lock and unlock your scooter.

The official Anker Amazon storefront is offering its SOLIX C800 Portable Power Station for $449 shipped, after clipping the on-page $150 off coupon. Usually fetching $599, we’ve been seeing a steady stream of discounts on this model and its upgraded version throughout 2024 which often bring costs down around $449, but we have seen the costs go further to a new $399 low on rare occasions that started back in September. Today, you can land this campsite companion at its second-lowest price that we have tracked, saving you a solid $150, which can also be found matching directly from Anker’s website too.

It has 10 port options to plug in your devices and appliances, with a single car port, two USB-C, two USB-As, and five ACs, complete with smart controls through its companion app to monitor and adjust settings from afar. Recharging its battery can take just 58 minutes when you plug it into a standard wall outlet, or there’s also the option to hook up to 300W of solar input to take advantage of its solar charging capabilities. It also provides some convenient on-board storage that you can use as you see fit, with added gear being included by instead purchasing its upgraded Plus model.

greenworks pro 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer

Greenworks’ pro-tier 3,000 PSI electric pressure washer falls to $298 for today only

Courtesy of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks Pro 3,000 PSI Electric Pressure Washer for $297.99 shipped. Normally priced at $450, we’ve mainly seen discounts come in the form of these one-day sales, the biggest of which took costs down to the $290 low back at the beginning of September, repeating again just a few days later. Aside from those, prices have mainly been kept above $300, with today’s deal coming in as a 34% markdown that drops it under its usual trend to the third-lowest price we have tracked – just $8 above the all-time low.

There’s a bonus bundle deal that goes right along with the pressure washer as Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 15-inch Pressure Washer Surface Cleaner Attachment starting at $55, down from $80. The savings can continue by adding both to your cart, dropping costs down to $41.24 automatically. It comes with an easy quick-connect feature for fast and easy attachment, providing dual cleaning nozzles on its underside to increase any pressure washer’s cleaning power (rated for models up to 3,100 PSI).

Sporting a much heavier-duty frame than many of the other pressure washer models under the Greenworks flag, this pro-tier model is also one of the more powerful ones, delivering a maximum 3,000 PSI with a 1.1 to 2.0 GPM flow rate thanks to the 14A TRUBRUSHLESS motor. You’ll also be getting a nice variety of nozzles for wider versatility, which you can store away into their own dedicated on-board space, as well as 25 feet of non-marring hose, and an integrated detergent tank for increased cleaning power. There’s also the brand’s Total Stop System that provides more efficiency while saving you money and extending the pump’s lifespan by cutting it off once you’ve let go of the wand’s trigger.

greenworks 80V 12-inch cordless electric snow shovel

Clear 12-inch paths up to 6 inches deep with this Greenworks 80V cordless electric snow shovel at $245

As part of its Deals of the Day, Best Buy is offering the Greenworks 80V 12-inch Cordless Electric Snow Shovel for $244.99 shipped through the rest of the day. Normally fetching $350, this handy snow-clearing device ended 2023 at its $200 low from Christmas sales, with prices returning to their full rate in 2024 and only seeing drops to $339 until recently. It dropped costs to $300 at the end of summer, but today you’re looking at the best price we’ve seen in 2024 so far, marked down by 30% and saving you $105 as you prep for winter’s arrival. You’ll also find it matching in price over at Amazon.

With the snowier season closing in on us (and it already beginning for certain northern states), you won’t be caught off guard by sudden snowfall with this electric snow shovel from Greenworks. Its 80V brushless motor will allow you to clear 12-inch wide paths through the powder at up to six inches deep – discharging the excess up to 25 feet away. It’s been given a lightweight and ergonomic design for more effortless and comfortable use, with a lock-out button to prevent accidental starting once your fingers start going stiff after a prolonged time out in the cold. The 2.0Ah battery here is not only compatible across Greenworks’ ecosystem, but it also provides a 45-minute runtime for every 30 minutes plugged into the included charger.

Ford is paying dealers up to $22,500 to sell F-150 Lightning models through a new program

Ford is paying dealers up to ,500 to sell F-150 Lightning models through a new program

Ford-dealers-F-150-Lightning

Ford dealers just got a significant new incentive to move F-150 Lighting inventory. Through a new pilot program, Ford will pay dealers up to $22,500 for every F-150 Lightning model restocked from a Retail Replenishment Center.

During Capital Markets Day last May, Ford CEO Jim Farley outlined plans to make buying an electric vehicle as easy as possible.

The changes included transparent pricing, a better customer experience, and remote delivery options. To get vehicles into customers’ hands quicker, Ford said it would introduce new Retail Replenishment Centers (RRC) that can deliver EVs in under ten days.

According to a new bulletin (via CarsDirect), Ford will pay dealers up to $22,500 when replenishing F-150 Lightning models from an RRC.

From October 15 through November 15, 2024, Ford’s new incentive gives dealers $1,000 for every 2024 F-150 Lightning that comes from a Replenishment Center.

If a dealer unloads more than nine (max 15), the incentive increases to $1,500. Throughout the month, dealers can earn up to $22,500.

Ford to pay dealers to move F-150 Lightning inventory

Ford’s dealer note said the program is designed to “further test the logistics and efficiencies of RRCs” while boosting engagement.

The incentive applies to all trims except the base F-150 Lightning Pro, which is no longer available for retail sale.

As CarsDirect points out, the program could be good and bad for buyers. Some dealers will want to move F-150 Lightning inventory at lower prices, while others can sell models that don’t have many on the lot.

However, this could mean fewer choices when visiting a dealership. The pilot program likely comes as Ford looks to move older models ahead of the new 2025 F-150 Lightning.


2024 Ford F-150 Lightning trim		 Starting Price Range
(EPA-est miles)
XLT $62,995 240
Flash $67,995 320
Lariat $76,995 320
Platinum $84,995 300
Platinum Black $92,995 300
2024 Ford F-150 Lightning price and range by trim (*not including $2,095 destination fee)

Ford has introduced significant incentives for the electric truck in recent months. The 2024 F-150 Lightning is available with 0% APR for 60 months.

In addition, through its new “Ford Power Promise,” all EV buyers get a free Level 2 home charger, and Ford is covering the cost of installation. The offer includes a $2,000 cash incentive that can be combined with 0% financing.

Are you ready to take advantage of the savings? 2024 models may not last long with 2025MY arrivals around the corner. You can find the best deals on Ford’s F-150 Lightning near you using our link.

Sustainable logistics and deliveries provider Fin announced $7 million in seed funding and is expanding its operations to the US.

With the seed funding, Fin is able to scale its operations, now boasting over 100 e-cargo bikes and 100 electric vans used to deliver between 7,000 and 14,000 parcels throughout London daily.

The expansion to the US, with plans to launch in New York City in early 2025, will mark the company’s first venture outside the UK. Fin will also expand into five additional UK cities in 2025. 

Marlon Nichols, managing general partner and co-founder of MaC Venture Capital, which led the funding round, said, “The MaC team has supported Fin since its inception, and we are fully confident in the team’s ability to scale as the company expands its footprint beyond the UK and into the US market.

“The company’s rapid growth in London has demonstrated not only the effectiveness of its model but also the strong market appetite for greener, more efficient delivery options. We believe Fin is well-positioned to shift the culture of urban logistics, especially in New York, where residents need a better solution for efficient, safe, and environmentally friendly deliveries.”

Fin’s deploys electric vans and e-cargo bikes built to carry up to 250 kg, and uses a proprietary AI-powered technology platform that creates optimized routes offering full transparency to clients and end customers. The company offers next-day delivery even for late-night orders.

Looking ahead, Fin is focused on continuing its rapid expansion while maintaining its commitment to sustainability and innovation and aims to deploy 500 more bikes this year across both the UK and New York.

Ford's reborn Capri EV now en route to first customers in Europe

Ford's-new-Capri-EV

The legend is back for the first time in nearly four decades. Ford’s new Capri EV is headed to the first customers across Europe. Following the electric Explorer, the new Capri is Ford’s second EV based on Volkswagen’s MEB platform.

Ford unveiled the all-electric Capri in July, claiming the “legend” is being revived. A little over three months later, the electric sports crossover is on its way to dealerships across Europe.

The first electric Capri models left Ford’s Cologne EV Center in Germany and are headed to customers.

Ford said the new Capri was designed to “inject some would in the world of electric vehicles.” It’s an all-electric twist on a cult classic. Almost 200,000 customers have created their Capri models on Ford’s website.

The most popular color option was Vivid Yellow, with 24% opting for the modern take on the classic Capri’s Daytona Yellow.

According to Ford, over 50% chose the Capri Premium model, which gains Dynamic LED headlights, a 10-speaker B&O sound system, 20-inch alloy wheels, and more.

With nearly 400 miles (627 km) WLTP range, the Capri EV can drive from Cologne to London on a single charge.

Meet Ford’s new Capri EV, a legend reborn

“Our new all-electric Capri is the car the iconic sports coupe was destined to become,” Ford Europe’s EV leader, Jon Williams, said.

The Capri’s return has been “well worth the wait,” Williams explained, adding, “We couldn’t be more excited to see a new generation about to experience the style and swagger that made Capri such a legend.”

Ford’s electric sports coupe is available in Capri and Capri Premium. Powered by a 77 kWh battery, the RWD Capri EV has a driving range of up to 390 miles (627 km) in Europe.

The Premium model, with a larger 79 kWh battery and AWD powertrain, has a WLTP driving range of up to 368 miles (592 km).

All models come with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). The system includes 12 ultrasonic sensors, five cameras, and three radars.

Inside, you will find an adjustable 14.6″ infotainment screen with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay support. It also features a wrap-around cockpit and sculpted sports seats for a racecar-like feel.

Range
(WLTP)		 Starting Price
(Germany)
Ford Capri EV (RWD) 390 miles (627 km) $48,800 (€44,950)
Ford Capri EV Premium (AWD) 368 miles (592 km) $52,300 (€48,650)
Ford Capri EV price and range by trim

At 4,634 mm long, 2,063 mm wide, and 1,626 mm tall, the new Ford Capri EV is similar to the Volkswagen ID.5 (4,599 mm long, 1,852 mm wide, 1,603 mm tall). From the side, it looks very similar to the Polestar 2.

The new Capri EV starts at $48,800 (€44,950) in Germany, slightly less than the electric Explorer, which costs about $52,700 (€48,500). Meanwhile, the Premium model costs around $52,300 (€48,650).
